Reviews – Do Over
Do Over was my debut novel with Carina Press and I have to say I've been thrilled with the response to this story. It's a special one to me because it's a fictional depiction of a real event that happened to my best friend.
From Night Owl Reviews:
"This short story was absolutely, positively fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting Faith and Troy's memories and watching Troy "do over" some of them. The love that was expressed with each stop was tangible and so real." -Terri
Also from Night Owls:
"This is a story I will read again just for the sheer joy of it." – Chris
From BlackRaven's Reviews:
"Do Over is more than a walk down memory lane for Troy and Faith. It is a wonderful snapshot of their marriage as they reminisce about the milestones of their life together. Recommended Read!" – Kathy
From Romance Book Scene:
"Very well written erotic romance featuring WOW bedroom scenes and a great romance. After the readers are done reading this one, you'll wish you were married to Troy."
From Everybody Needs a Little Romance:
"This story touched me more than any other book I've read this year. It hit home because it reminded me so much of my relationship with my husband." – Heather
From Karyn's Romanorum:
"I am not a huge fan of short stories, sometimes they lack emotional depth. That is not the case here. How wonderful to read of a couple in their mid-forties, married 25 years."
From Dr. J's Book Place:
"Oh my, oh my, get out your hankies on this one! This is a very emotional novel that will warm your heart, stroke your libido, and keep you enthralled."
From Whipped Cream:
"I have to say that Do Over wasn't entirely what I expected. Since Mari Carr penned the novella, I knew it would be hot – and I was right. The sex scenes should come with a burn notice. Each time you think Ms. Carr can't kick it up a notch, she proves to you just how wrong you are." – Fern
From Romance Novel News:
"Do Over" is a very entertaining read that is as romantic as it is erotic. Carr manages to make an old married couple seem sexy and even a bit adventurous. This is one of the best erotic romance novellas that I have read." A JP Recommended Read.
From Joyfully Reviewed:
"Ms. Carr accomplishes the impossible: she makes Do Over incredibly sweet, but without ever turning it saccharine. I admit, my favorite parts of the story were the letters Troy wrote to Faith. Quite honestly, they made me cry. Yes, each and every one. Joyfully Recommended!" – Shayna
From The Romance Studio:
"There is also plenty of hot erotic sex in the book, but it is so well written it just flows with the story. This is the first story I have read from the author but based on what I have read it will not be my last. She has a way with words that just draws you into the characters lives and almost makes you feel like an eyewitness. This is a great book for romantics of all kinds. Five Hearts!" – Ana
"The thing that I absolutely loved about this book was that it wasn't Faith doing all of the planning, she had no clue about any of it. Troy with some help from others had planned it all. After 25 years he wanted to show her that he still loved and desired her, and boy does he ever." – Heather
